Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Carthell Roberts, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s *664dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that the defendants violated his constitutional rights by denying him parole. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, and affirm. See Butterfield v. Bail, 120 F.3d 1023, 1024-25 (9th Cir. 1997) (holding that a prisoner’s challenge to parole proceedings must be brought as a petition for writ of habeas corpus, and not as a section 1983 action).

AFFIRMED.
